Hi Astro Cortex
You seem to be a FAX collector.I have two questions for you:
1) what are the ten most valuable FAX CDs?
2) I have 'just the disk' a CD. It is black with a red triangle in the centre.
The word 'silence' is written under the triangle in white and in the usual FAX-like font.
There are eleven tracks on the CD.
Can you identify this CD for me?
edit: oh, and I'm very excited...:
I got these:
thank you guys!
-
will provide them within a day or two hopefully.
basically the texture of the shiva logo is similar to glossy paper and looks
like professional printing circa 1995. though though shiva inserts DO look
a little cheap.
it is placed where one of the purple stickers should be.
the vinyls are the regular yellow but there is a more uneven dye concentration
than my other three copies. specifically there are reddish streaks on a
few areas.

Okay I have a copy of Twisted vinyl 2x12" yellow. All stickers normal
except one of them has a sticker from the TIP orange compilation.
I am getting excited about this one because I have a suspicion that
the sticker could be an 'allusion' to his 'hinted at' ambientish 'Angelic Particles'
present on the CD version.
Does anyone else have a copy like this?
The sticker looks cut with a machine and place over the original at the
Factory.

visine is indeed very helpful and knows what he is talking about. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I just had my second trade with visine.
He delived me a rarity in NM condition and another valuable item
I've been after for awhile. Totally trustworthy down to earth guy.

As we have a celebrity here and a very well respected musician I
thought - shit, why don't I ask him what kind of Trance he listens to.
Colin?

I'm with ya, Stalker. Music is a very social phenomenon, like I've said in other places. Music itself is dead. It's the music combined with the impressionable opinions of a group of people that make it successful or unsuccessful. LSD, for instance, is a track that in my opinion is nothing really special, but what I think it has going for it is that it's accessible to many people. It's easy to listen to, yet has a certain flair that makes it very likeable to a lot of people. The stuff that is of better quality, but is perhaps harder to access by the masses, will not achieve the same success.
And then there's the whole issue of "luck", which is another thing altogether...
Ok, I am a Posford nut, however, and I seem to be in the minority here, but
I think LSD is one of his most SHITE tracks.

Suppose I had a wad of cash like those mafia guys - you know, no wallet
just like a WAD of like 4K or something.
Where would be some good (perhaps obscure) places to go find rare Goa Trance
CDs. I mean a physical, geographical location, and NOT a Goa crack house.
Something original..ish...

I don't know if you are a technically minded person Stalker, but your
comment about the majority really reminded me of 'Brownian Motion'
BM
is an utterly FASCINATING subject applicable to things such as:SOME OF MY COMMENTS HERE especially the 30th remark. Basically there is a
way to deduce, using certain principles of BM (Brownian motion describes
'randomness' in a way; for example the movement of smoke through air)
I would be able to deduce whether or not the 3.7/5.0 situation is fraudulent.

http://www.discogs.com/release/137088
Kundalini - Kundalini EP
Label: Flying Rhino Records
Catalog#: ZFR 002
Format: 12"
Country: UK
Released: 1995
Genre: Electronic
Style: Goa Trance
Notes: Produced by J. Monro & M. Evans. + Heinous Frank's edits.
Tracklisting
A Placebo
B1 Rasa
B2 Interzone
Kundalini's first[and last] work released, apart from several Kundalini tracks that appear on various old school compilations.. Hm, underrated IMO...
A Placebo
First track starts calm and peaceful... Then it gets some energy kick and ... here you are in goahead's paradise... A peaceful relaxation @ around 4.00 for a few seconds and slowly but steadily energy is builded up again, kundalini is produced by the mind and we are back entranced..
'Placebo' was the first Goa Trance tune I ever heard. I wasted around 500-800$
on shitty electronica before I discovered real acid enveloping, crescendos,
and 'connoisseur' grade knob twiddling. I still have the tune practically memorized
and I haven't heard it in several months.
edit: anyone with an absolutely MINT copy: I will trade something nice for it.

People will select a song if they think others like it.
In other words, at least one key to musical success is the buzz, or bandwagon effect.
This mean we cant perciave a music as classical only if it comes on a sucefull package. On a aproval already made by others
This also means your taste is very influenced by the group ( in this case psytrance)
Popular songs became more popular and unpopular songs became less popular when individuals influenced one another, and it became more difficult to predict which songs were to emerge as the most popular ones the more the individuals influenced one another
Lets say for ex Simon Postford comes here as a nobody, and then he would post his track LSD and asks for some honest feedback just like everybody right?
Now, all of you Postford fans would really like this, especially because of the surprise factor...but you would never label as the "best psytrance song ever" or as instant classic
Humans has fears to have the first word and stand out from the group
and especially, when it comes to a nobody
Thats why on every music genre there is the "obvious artists" those guys that are very sucefull and stay like this
How they become sucefull is a matter of time and another topic
true.

i wish i could help you with the theory but its been years since i last touched matlab, or some production tool.
here are some waypoints:
with matlab, you can open wav files as x,2 matrices (each column for each speaker and each line for the sample taken each hertz)
try to find an algorithm to process this type of matrix, or you'll first have to break the main wav into its frequency groups (ie, high frequency sounds seperated) and thats tricky.
and for info on signal processing, you'll need an engineering background, probably.
Well, that's a start. But, it is a given more or less that each channel has
a Zx1 vector I assume right? Each component in the channel vector being
a 'bit' (0 or 1) of course. Begin conjecturing ramble:
Next I guess we need to interpolate the meaningless bits into an adequately
precise analog fourier series and then find the closest digital fit to that series.
This is an elaboration on what you mentioned, as is: now we take the digitally
measured frequencies (from the original gear of reasonable facsimile) and find the fourier
series associated with the rhythm components of the composition. Separate
out the rhythm constituents from the total series as suggested. Perform operation F(X)
where X is the rhythm vector corresponding to the digital fourier
series and F
is a 'complicated' timestretch operation. similarly perform operation
G(Z-X) = G(Y) with G being probably a different 'complicated' timestretch operation.
I suspect we can add a variety of constraints onto F,G to simplify
the goal but this is where I start having to pick up a book....perhaps way earlier..

LSD / Alpha Centauri - Test Pressing with child-like writing on it as
a 'certificate of authenticity' -
Trying to do that =)). Maybe I can complete my Posford collection this year, atleast what´s on discogs.
I´m still waiting for Alien Sex Fiend - Inferno, must listen to the last track.
Do you happen to know if 'Dark Jester' is a Posford pseudonym?
Also, if you have the complete(st) list of his Discogrophy can you forward
it to me through Discogs? Looking forward to an account of Inferno (15-20 or
whichever ones it is) BTW.

Hi
let's talk msn
nhjo_hyennro@hotmail.com
I can send my excellent banks.
I reminded, I will make massive banks for hard or sof gears.
and If you patch maker or patch proud of skill, talk on msn.
Hey
I can teach you.
online or If you have big money, go to southkorea. and contact.
I can teach you my studio.
or I you are good goapsymaker, I wanna team with you.
I have many gears.
contact to me.
My style is Psychedelic, Goa, Mad, Insane, Progressive, Dark, etc!
Hi Johnny Heron,
It is difficult to know if you are a serious musician. Your English
needs improvement. Please ask a translator for assistance.
If you are just fooling around then I just wasted 90 seconds.

Do you think the psytrance scene has ego?
My personal opinion,l think anyone that has an ego,are missing the the point at what this scene is really all about!
Egocentric-1: regarding everything only in relation to ones;self-centred.2:A SELF- CENTRED PERSON;EGOIST
Basically it is ME ME ME ME WHAT ABOUT ME all the time! and that represents most people under 18 years of age today!,specialy in Australia,USA,UK
Some good advice,drop the ego,be your self,stop thinking you know everything and the world owes you!
And have a nice day,bacause l'm going too.l don't have an ego!
The cave man
Your name and topic title made me recall the GEICO commercials
aired in North America where the cavemen dudes are bitching about
the guy being condescending about their 'kind'
Narrator: It's so easy, even a CAVEMAN could do it!
Caveman: man, that was REALLY condescending

Like I mentioned above, it is a way to preserve the uniqueness
and finiteness of the .wav downloads. Only those people with
the proper 1024 bit signatures can authenticate on the website.
All other copies can be recognized as forgeries.
-
This is messy and has some logic holes but it gives maybe
some idea what I have in mind:
i) reserve 1024 'single bit' addresses somewhere inside the track.
ii) these 1024 bits will be one half of the bits used to verify uniqueness of the
copy.
iii) purchaser is provided with a 1024 bit number like a password sort of thing.
iv) the first 1024 bits are uploaded by sending the music file. The second 1024 bits
are provided by the owner.
v) verification of uniqueness is done by concatenating the bit strings into a 2048 bit
number. The 2048 bits are hashed and compared against the label's database.
vi) transfer of ownership of the copy is done through a mechanism controlled by
the label. The original owner must 'cash in' his 1024 bits. The new owner then
receives a new 1024 bit number and claims ownership.
The original owner cannot claim ownership since he does not have the new 1024
bit number and thus cannot get his copy verified anymore.

We are sick I tell you!
I am trying to wean myself off it a little but...
Yeah, I understood what you wanted to know
I just hope I'm not gonna end up like you guys, trying to find every obscure and rare release by some artist, from every possible label, with different vinyl pressings, different front-covers, stickers or whatever. At this point in time, my goal is to find some rare, old-school music and the "music" has a greater priority than "record/CD" if you know what I mean. But deep underneath there's the temptation growing...
